Welcome to your eSports news briefing with little tidbits from all around the internet and the globe!

VR Hockey and Wingsuit Flying!

This week VR tech is touching base in a couple new areas that haven't been explored yet!

One of which is training hockey players with the use of VR. The idea behind the Czech company Sense Arena pairing with players is that it helps them learn techniques and lessens the risk of injury.

The program runs them through around 70 drills where they can hone their skills and not lose a couple teeth in the process!

However, the same might not be said for the game VR Rush that is coming to Playstation where players live out free diving in wingsuits across treacherous terrain!

Honestly, the only thing I can imagine here is someone accidentally taking a face-first dive onto the floor or balancing on their couches. And I can't stop laughing.

Speaking of unfortunate Playstation players...

Mysterious messages breaking PS4s!

According to some sources on reddit there are some messages going around that are turning Ps4's into nothing more than a fancy paperweight.

Those that were able to see the message before the disastrous effects took it's took said the message was simply a question mark. This might mean that whatever it is, not even the Playstation is able to read it. You'll know things are going badly because the first thing to fail is your controller and a reset simply puts you in the midst of error message loops.

It seems that you might be able to undo the damage by simply accessing your ps4 account through another device and deleting the message.

But better to be safe than sorry and change your settings to only allow messages from those that you know and trust!

Now to a message that wants to be heard loud and clear by all:

Gaming for the Hearing Impaired!

Those of us that watch television with subtitles and have no hearing disabilities tend to take it for granted. Also, we tend to not notice when it is missing in other places.

Like video games. Have you ever looked for a subtitle option? Chances are that you haven't.

And it would be time wasted as, for the most part, they just don't exist. If they do, it is merely subtitles and not full captions, like those that can't hear would need.

This has left a lot of people that are deaf out of the loop and unable to compete or even play games that have critical dialogue that help you through. Think of all the times you've been TOLD what your objective is. Now imagine the kind of frustration you would face trying to figure out the steps without that critical information. Or not being able to hear an enemy nearby.

Ubisoft has taken particular interest and has been putting their best foot forward in attempting to learn what the hearing impaired need in order to play their games.

Let's hope a lot more companies follow their lead!
